I am only talking about a basic editor for use at the CLI to tweak config files and scripts- about 2% of my work. I use Kate for HTML and the newly discovered Ted editor for RTF documents; both are much more suitable for my use than any Old School *nix editor.

i guess i should say that i had a while when i i had a choice between vi and emacs - the choice was clear.

Ah, well yes, I see. Rather like a choice between a poke in the eye and a kick to the crotch...

Re:Back to Pico

That's actually quite a good (dare I say enviable) position to find yourself in.
Sometimes all yo uget is a choice between vi and &quot;cat &gt; file&quot;.
This equates to a choice between a poke in the eye and falling face down on to a bed of nails.
